Back at home, he started busying himself in the kitchen. Gu Qimiao finished her call with Mo Ming and walked out of her room to the kitchen, seeing him roll up his sleeves and washing vegetables. She enthusiastically went over: "Let me do it!"
Shen Yanchen glanced at her, then shook the water off his hands and turned around to stir the soup in the pot, letting her take over.
"Brother Yan Chen, when did you learn to cook?"
"Did you take professional chef classes or something? Your cooking is so good."
He just smiled without speaking. Such a smile only appeared unintentionally after meeting her.
"Hehe, I can only make noodles and scrambled eggs."
They chatted idly, and she talked about things that happened at school, most of which he already knew, yet he quietly served as her listener.
After dinner, she still washed the dishes. When she finished and went out, there was no sign of him in the living room, so she went back to her own room.
She suddenly remembered the clothes when she saw the bag beside the wardrobe. Bending over to pick up the bag, she immediately opened the door again and saw light shining from his room, then knocked on the door.
Knocked twice with no response, reminded of the last time she barged into his room and saw an inappropriate scene, she dared not push the door open again.
"Knock knock——" She knocked twice more, still without a response. Just as she turned around, planning to come back later, a beam of light slowly widened from the inside and shone on her.
Gu Qimiao immediately turned her head and saw him wearing only a towel wrapped around his lower body, his upper body bare, holding a towel to casually wipe his dripping hair—the scene was... quite provocative!
Gu Qimiao involuntarily swallowed, her gaze wandering and the temperature on her face slowly rising, then she handed the bag over: "Th-this is your sister’s clothes. I’ve already washed them... when you have time, could you please take them back."
He stared intently at her evasive expression, then reached out to take the bag. She stood still for two seconds before saying: "I’ll go in first." Without even glancing at him, she quickly ran to her room and immediately closed the door.
Shen Yanchen looked at the tightly closed door and couldn’t help but smile.
Looking down at his own body, he couldn’t help thinking: So innocent, blushing after just one look. Does it mean she and Mo Ming haven’t reached the stage of "total honesty" yet?
Gu Qimiao leaned against the door, patting her face "slap slap", trying to calm down.
She self-hypnotized: It’s just body art, nothing to be embarrassed about, nothing to be embarrassed about.
But in her mind was still his beautifully firm abs and that stunning mermaid line, leading her to subconsciously outline the shape beneath the lines in her mind...
The temperature on her face kept rising.
She needed to find something to divert her attention!
In a hurry, she grabbed her bag, spread her drawing paper on the desk, and started coloring with colored pencils.
After drawing for a long time, her heart slowly calmed down, focusing solely on the painting.
She occasionally sharpened the pencils with a new art knife, since she constantly needed to use it. After finishing, she was too lazy to retract the blade, so she just put it beside her.
As she continued drawing, her hand gradually moved to the right, touching the sharp blade...
She was so engrossed in coloring that time flew by, and when the painting was done, she realized it was almost eleven o’clock.
Hurriedly tidying up her desk, she stood up and noticed a red streak on her white sweater.
Looking down, she couldn’t help wondering, where did the blood come from?
